    I went through the EXACT same thing with Player except it was sudden and she won't tell me where he went. If you need to talk or anything, pm me. What kind of riding do you do? Are you good? Maybe you could give other people lessons for some extra cash. Thats what my old instructor did, but she wasn't a very good teacher, she kinda skrewed me up. I've been reading Hunt Seat Equitation they have this section on teaching in the back, and when I think about it, my instructor I have now who is so good follows the book exactly. Also, at my old barn they charged $5 a pony ride but then they let us girls lead them around for 15 minutes and then we got a $5 tip. Maybe you could also clean tack for a little extra cash. I'm actually trying to save up to shareboard not this show season, but next year. It really sucks how expensive horses are. *sigh*

    I'm not sure like I mean I can keep Trigger under control proper and still look proper amd stuff but my barn is a private on like other people keep there horses here and they are all like pros and thee rest dont cme up. The only kid there is my sister and I already give her free leassons. Doing pony rides I'd love that (I was gonna do it for my sisters birthday) but my mom didnt trust Trigger even though hes FINE especially with someone leading him and him only WALKING. But she diodnt want to...maybe next year Thanks everyone

    If you were closer to me, I'd do the co-owner thing with ya. I love horses & only ridden a few times.. My friend & I worked our butts of on a crazy wild horse.. poor thing was abused & spooked easly.. after a few months my friend was able to ride him in a fenced off area.. I had to be around so if he freaked, I could run up & grab the rope (we tied on a rope so I could over power his head, as he was only a small horse).. he always calmed down once I got the rope & hugged his head.. he just needed some loving & ferm yet gentle hands

    I'm so sorry to hear about this! I love Trigger's cheeky little face, the kind that all haflingers have He reminds me of a pony I sometimes ride. I feel so sorry for you as I know how much you love him. I hope he eventually finds a happy home.

    Sorry to say this, but his real owner can't be a very competant horse-woman if she 'can't ride him'. And yet she is lucky enough to get horses as she pleases. The world can be a very unfair place sometimes.

    King-I wish you lived closer too!!!

    Miss Z- She doesnt care for horses except for one and that Casey..she said shes gone through tons of horses UGH and theres something special about Trigger , the new horse I went to see him and theres nothing special about him hes a plain brown quater horse who istn that cute (he was soaked when I saw him but still..) I dont get how horse people can just up and rid of a horse I know ALOT of horse people are like that...and I know I was like that with Oscar the other horse I used to part board when I first joined PT and I didnt say good buy to him and wasnt even sad..if I didnt get to say good bye to Trigger I dont know what I'd do..He's like a braty brother to me. The other lady was up there with me today and the whole time he was nudging me and wanted attention form me not her...Maybe one day our paths will cross then he'll never have to worry about him leaving me again.

    If I had a car, it would take me about 30 mins to dive to your city... I need to become rich, so I can get my own horse & love him... I prob would end up walking him more then anything, as ummmm I'm scared of hights when I'm on one lol.. The last horse I was on was 17hh (I think) & I couldn't sit up.. I held onto his mane for dear life.. had fun & got to trot him (my friend owned him & she controlled him) & had fun bouncing about lol

    Aww I'm so sorry Alicia. I'm absolutely terrified that's going to happen with me. I know I can't afford Dot on my own and my parents won't be able to buy her or anything either. But her owners still love her and care for her, I'm the only one that rides her though.

    I'll be praying you can keep him!
